"Por registro" could even be eliminated: Now we see her face again, but in a different ...

The image cuts to a mere flash (a quarter of a second) of a woman running, [...] The next shot is a close-up of the workers' faces as they march by. [...] The image cuts to a brief shot of men in face-obscuring helmets,
